technology?

Bluetooth

 wireless technology is a short-range wireless 

technology that enables wireless data communication between 

digital devices, such as a computer and digital camera. 

Bluetooth

 

wireless technology operates within a range of about 10 m.

Connecting two devices as necessary is common, but some 

devices can be connected to multiple devices at the same time.

You do not need to use a cable for connection, nor is it necessary 

for the devices to face one another, such is the case with infrared 

technology. For example, you can use such a device in a bag or 

pocket.

Bluetooth

 standard is an international standard supported by 

thousands of companies all over the world, and employed by 

various companies worldwide.

Communication System and Compatible 

Bluetooth

 Profiles of the system

Profile is standardisation of the function for each
